Surface area of shapes can be measured in square centimetres

A perimeter is a measure of length and so cannot be 16 square centimetres - which is a measure of area. As it happens, a square with a perimeter of 16 centimetres will have sides of 4 cm and so an area of 16 square centimetres.
Square centimeters measure area, the amount of 2-dimensional space something take up.
Without any units specified, 2 square is a pure number. Furthermore, being a squared measure its units would be square centimetres, not centimetres (which are a measure of length).

One meter is equal to 1000 cubic centimeters. * * * * * The above answer is absolute rubbish. A metre is a measure of distance whereas a cubic centimetre is a measure of volume! The correct answer is that 1 metre = 100 centimetres. 100, not 1000. Centimetres, and not square centimetres or cubic centimetres!
